Arnold’s Campaign Manager Joins Team McCain
-- Navin -- 12/22/2006
Steve Schmidt, who helped bring Arnold back from the dead in the '06 cycle, has signed on as a senior adviser to John McCain. Now it isn't as if policies will neatly translate from candidate to candidate, but I doubt that Schmidt can ignore the significant boost Arnold received in embracing strong solutions to global warming. Of course, most advisers won't waste a minute comparing a general election in California to a presidential primary. But given McCain's commitment to the issue and the heightened public concern--particularly in coastal parts of South Carolina and among snow-dependent industries in New Hampshire--the opportunities won't be overlooked. The question is whether they'll actually be used. Will global warming be a campaign issue for John McCain?
